It seems obvious, right? If COVID-19 taught us anything about the workplace, it’s that engagement isn’t built on free snacks or social events.

Here at Cochran Cochran & Yale , we have seen an uptick in clients reaching out for consulting around their employee retention. Why do we have such high turnover? Why are our most valuable employees choosing to leave? Where did we go wrong… Organizations that fail to prioritize engagement risk high turnover, which isn’t just a cultural challenge—it’s a financial one. ?????? ???????? ???? ?????????????????? ???? ???????????????? ?????? ???? ??.?? ???? ?? ?????????? ?????????? ???????????? ????????????, factoring in recruitment, lost productivity, and training.

???? ???????????????? ??????????. Yesterday, I got a call from a CFO who had just been let go—completely blindsided. The reason? A recruiter he trusted sent his resume around as a way to entice potential clients without his permission. This man has longevity in his role, a family and had no intention of actively looking for a new job. It started with a conversation about a specific opportunity—his dream company, one he had admired for years. But instead of keeping it targeted, the recruiter blasted his resume to countless organizations, including landing on the desk of his own CEO. The result? He is out of a job without having the opportunity to even seriously consider moving roles. Unfortunately, this isn’t the first phone call like this I have received in 2025- and it's only March. Not all recruiters operate with integrity. Some prioritize quick placements over long-term relationships, and candidates end up paying the price. In this job market, this behavior has serious repercussions. A great recruiter & agency is a true partner—they respect your confidentiality, aligns with your career goals, and never jeopardize your current position. If you’re considering your next move, ???????? ???????? ??????’???? ?????????????? ???????? ?????????????? ?????? ???????????? ???????? ?????????? ???? ???????? ???? ?????? ????.
